near to London Colney, Hertfordshire, Great Britain

London Colney: The Golden Lion public house
London Colney: The Golden Lion public house
One of London Colney's seven public houses along its High Street, the pub is Victorian and is shown on the Ordnance Survey maps from 1898 onwards. The smoked glass windows and the grey tablet on the side at first floor level bear witness to the pub's previous owners, Trumans.

However the pub has existed on the site since 1881 at least because the Census from that year recorded the following occupants:

Charles OAKLEY, Head of the Household, married, aged 60, born London Colney, Hertfordshire, occupation Gardener & Publican
Eliza OAKLEY, wife, aged 37, born Wendron, Cornwall
Sarah OAKLEY, daughter, unmarried, aged 25, born London Colney, Hertfordshire, General Servant
William OAKLEY, son, aged 1, born London Colney, Hertfordshire
Anne OAKLEY, granddaughter, aged 6 months, born London Colney, Hertfordshire
